Then there’s our state-of-the-art technology; our spacious production studio and our passion to create the perfect package of images every time.

We work with a wide range of companies both nationally and internationally to create short films, verified views, augmented reality applications, 360-degree virtual tours, UE4 environments and much more. Our work is constantly changing as technology evolves and we are committed to being at the forefront of animation and visualisation.

WHO WE’VE DONE IT FOR

Our clients over the years have come from a wide range of sectors, including residential, hospitality, commercial, leisure, MOD, industrial, retail and transport. Outside of construction and property, we have worked on 3D models for phone and new technology concepts.

What our Clients say

“Tim and VR are exactly the type of company we wish to partner with. great service and outstanding results. I can't recommend VR enough. ”

Patrick Ames, Director, Claremont

“The involvement of Virtual Resolution at the concept stage of the project was extremely valuable. Tim and team quickly transformed the design concept for our project into a 3D rendered fly through model which really helped in terms of enabling key stakeholders to visualise how the final scheme would look and function. Moving on from that stage, the model has also been a key tool utilised in terms of external promotional activity and also in relation to selling space to potential tenants. Virtual Resolution provided a high-quality product in quite an aggressive timescale whilst being fully responsive to client requests for changes. ”
